My mini is 7 months old, 6H and about 75 pounds and it's time for me to bring him from Dallas to Houston (about a 5 hour drive).
I don't have a mini trailer. The breeder tells me it would be okay to put him in the back of our Jeep Rubicon or even the Ford Taures but it doesn't seem like it would be safe for the horse. I contacted a horse transportation service and they said they would ship him in a large closed off stall which sounds ideal but also much more expensive. I've also heard the idea of putting him in a large dog cage for the trip, is that a common practice?
If anyone has feedback, ideas or has been in this pickle before I'd really love some input as this is my first horse and I want to be sure he's safe as can be!
